Faith is something that so many people have a hard time wrapping their heads around. I think Hebrews 11:1 give us an excellent definition of faith. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen . I read once that faith is the active confidence in the God who has revealed Himself- not a vague uncertainty about an unknown someone and so love that definition.Faith is both a reminder that God is sovereign and that He is near. At any time- we can reach out and touch the King of Kings, the Creator of heaven and earth- because He is that accessible and certain.In good times and in bad, He is ruling over every single detail of our lives.I think God knew that we would struggle with the concept of faith and so thankfully there are lots of examples and stories of faith in the Bible.

Let's spend this month reading and meditating on what God has to say about faith.

FYI: I made the plan 31 days and plan to do that with

all topical plans in the future so that they can be done any month-not just the month I write them for.

You can find a copy of the plan in English and Spanish in the folder HERE.

I believe that Satan doesn’t want us in God’s word and will use any and every means possible to keep us from the truth and therefore we must be prepared and have a PLAN!

To work on hiding God's word in our hearts,

this year I'm going to be posting a memory verse for each week along with a printable to print out and hang up.

Here's the verse for week 7:

I don't know about you but I often get weary. Just plain old tired IN the Lord's work.Now I don't get tired OF His work, but in the midst of it. This verse in Galatians is a beautiful reminder that in time, we will reap rewards but that we must not give up.God keeps careful records and He promises to reward us for our faithfulness.There are months between when something is planted and when it's harvestedand the Lord's work is exactly the same.It's easy to do good and not give up when we get an immediate reward.But when it's not immediate? Gosh that can be hard. This verse reminds us that we can look forward to a spiritual reward -sometimes here on earth but sometimes not till we get to heaven.

You can print out the verses in English and Spanish and the complete list in a folder HERE.

To work on hiding God's word in our hearts,

this year I'm going to be posting a memory verse for each week along with a printable to print out and hang up.

Here's the verse for week 6:

The Lord clearly tells us that we WILL have trouble in this life. He doesn't say we might. He clearly says WILL. I love this verse because directly after reminding us that we will have trouble, He reminds us that we will also have peace. The word overcome is reminding us....it's done. He doesn't say He will do it. He says, He already has.
He has already done it so we don't have to worry.
Not only did he conquer the fallen world through His death and resurrection,
but He continues to provide that victory,
no matter what trouble we face.

To me this verse is the perfect reminder that my security
and peace rest NOT in the circumstances I face but in a confidence
that God (who guides ALL circumstances) knows exactly what He is doing.
What peace comes from knowing that!
